The ownership split (design/display-management.md §3): the registry owns the
per-session virtual-display lifecycle on Linux, so a display can outlive its
session (keep-alive) and be reused on reconnect.
- registry.rs: a Linux pool driven by the pure lifecycle machine. acquire()
reuses a kept (lingering/pinned) display of the same backend+mode, else
creates one and keeps the backend's keepalive so the compositor output (and
its PipeWire node_id) survives the session. The session's capturer holds a
gen-stamped DisplayLease instead of the real keepalive; its drop drives
linger/teardown. Enabling fact: KWin/Mutter/gamescope put their node on the
DEFAULT PipeWire daemon (remote_fd=None) — reconnect re-attaches by node_id,
no fd re-open. wlroots (remote_fd=Some, xdpw portal) passes through unchanged
(teardown-on-drop) pending the fresh-portal-capture re-attach.
- Default (unconfigured) linger = Immediate → today's teardown-on-disconnect,
so no behavior change without a keep-alive policy; concurrent sessions still
each create their own output (reuse only matches LINGERING entries).
- Wired build_pipeline (punktfunk1) + gamestream through registry::acquire;
capture_virtual_output signature unchanged. Windows delegates to vd.create
(the manager already leases) — unchanged.
